Regular and Irregular Verbs
Name:___________________________
Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the rules for what verbs
are supposed to look and sound like in the past tense. Regular verbs are
easy to find in the past tense because they end with the letters -ed. You
see them and use them all the time: talked, painted, worked, played,
helped, smiled, cooked, turned, looked, wanted, etc.
Irregular verbs are sneaky because they dont follow the -ed rule. Some
are just a little different, like verbs that end in y and the y changes to i
before the -ed ending is added. Others take on some very unusual
forms that you just have to remember. For example, you may sing
in the choir today, but you sang in the choir yesterday, not
singed.
All of the verbs below are in the present tense. Some of them are regular
verbs, and some are irregular verbs. Write the correct past tense form of
each verb. Circle the Irregular Verbs.
